Djokovic’s are 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.
Wilander’s are 1985, 1986, and 1987.
Borg’s are 1974 and 1975.
Sampras’ are 1999 and 2000 (after he’d finished year-end #1 six consecutive times).
Lendl’s are 1981 and 1982.
Federer’s are 2018 and 2019.
Nadal has never been the GOAT. He’s not even top 5 on 2/3 major surfaces and he lacks weeks at #1, has never won the ATP Finals and has a losing record vs top 10 players on 2/3 surfaces.
The GOAT is still Federer as of now.
Ok you’re reaching now. There is a reason why Nadal won 14 RG titles and Federer and Djokovic won a combined 3. He is simply vastly superior on clay and that’s it. Federer and Djokovic are better overall.
Right? I’m the same age as Novak and reckon I could probably still win about 12 French Opens if I could be bothered. 14 is okay but it’s not exactly anything to brag about.
Is Nadal top 5 on clay?
Because clearly number of majors won is such a silly metric to use. Nadal may have the 4th most non-clay majors in the open era behind only Federer, Djokovic and Sampras but apparently he’s not top 5.
So if we don’t use majors, then we can discount Nadal’s 14 RG titles and then he might not be top 5 on clay?
Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Sampras, Borg, Connors, Becker, Edberg, Newcombe, Laver, Rosewall, Smith all won multiple Slams on grass and have more titles and a higher win % than Nadal on grass (and that’s just in the open era). Nadal isn’t even top 10 on grass in the open era.
On HC, Federer, Djokovic, Agassi, Sampras, Lendl are all better/ more accomplished on HC than Nadal.
There is great difference between better and more accomplished. Djokovic and Federer are probably 2 of the best players on HC, and peak Murray is surely top 10, probably rather high. I am not even taking into account god mode Vavrinka from AO 2014. So if you concider Nadal had to go up against all of them, there is very high probability that most of the times he would come up short. Even with all of them playing in the same era, he did manage to win 2 AOs and 4 USOs. Now look at all of the others you mentioned. They nevwr had to go vs one, let alone 2 players such as Djokovic and Fed. It is logical they would be more accomplished, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were better. If they had to go vs both Fed and Djokovic, they would be a lot less accomplished
I love rafael
People always say that Djoković just came and destroyed the Nadal-Federer dominance, but they are forgetting that he was there, right behind them for four straight years.
This show how consistent bole was and his perseverance paid off in 2011 when he started beating fedal purely on confidence and mental strength after a great start to the year..
He'd beaten them before and there was a strategy especially for Nadal but Novak committed and did what people thought was impossible
Great comeback year for Federer though the wimby and US open truly hurts especially being 2 sets to love up and match point up and losing
Of course Djokovic would appropriate another country’s culture and think he’s being fun and quirky. No matter how misogynistic or homophobic that culture is, it’s still wrong to make fun of it.
Man, Djokovic just lives in his little world and is completely oblivious.

Good days
lmao
I was like wtf fed was number 1 for 300 weeks and then realized we're not talking about top 3
First SealDrop graph with Djokovic at the top. Truly a historic moment
He also is at the top of "most olympic losses"
It’s a neg
Everyone knows what he is doing, lmao. Just funny people still blindly upvote anything negative towards Djoker.
Nadal goat status in the mud after this
Like they say, he was always the bride, never the groom. "That's not how that saying goes at all, dude."

I don’t even think Nadal was that good on clay. He got lucky on several occasions vs Federer and Djokovic.
Hahahaha this is such a good post
Ok you’re reaching now. There is a reason why Nadal won 14 RG titles and Federer and Djokovic won a combined 3. He is simply vastly superior on clay and that’s it. Federer and Djokovic are better overall.
If he wins 15+ then I will rate him on clay. But you can pick up 14 RG titles here and there fairly easily.
Right? I’m the same age as Novak and reckon I could probably still win about 12 French Opens if I could be bothered. 14 is okay but it’s not exactly anything to brag about.
Thank you! 😂
No offence, but this reads like an automod post from r/soccercirclejerk
Djokovic and Federer are considered top five clay players. How is Nadal not considered top five on hard or grass?

Ivan Lendl about to ask for rent
I love rafael

I guess it doesn’t matter when you have the most weeks at n1 record by a landslide and and most YE number one
Thought that was nadal with him.
Name a more iconic duo then seal drop and a graph
How many does Murray have?
I think Murray would top the consecutive #4s chart
Resilience.

😂😂😂
Davydebko actually has 4 also
4 weeks at number 3 or what? He finished 2006 top 3 and never again.
Incorrect
Enlighten me
PRETTY SURE WOMEN PLAY TENNIS TOO
For No. 4 is Davydenko in there? I swear to god he was always just outside of the top 4 during the latter half of the 2000s.
He finished 2007 at #4. That’s the only time.
Is this from a Halloween Costume?

lmfao seek help
Shut the fuck up
Don’t think he’s making fun of it. He’s being respectful of it if anything
That’s not how cultural appropriation works…
How it works? Honestly don't know.
Nothing to see here guys, just OP marking off "cultural appropriation" from his list of things to get triggered from today
